What size Refrigerator do I need?
The right Refrigerator size depends on your household and storage needs. As a general guide:
- 1-Door and Top freezer Refrigerators (6.9 – 21.6 cu. ft.) are ideal for a household of 1–2 people.
- French Door and Side-by-Side models (17.9 – 28.2 cu. ft.) suit families of 3–4.
Consider how often you shop, how much fresh vs frozen food you store, and your available kitchen space when selecting the appropriate capacity.
How do I measure my space for a Refrigerator?
Start by measuring the depth, width, and height of the space where your Refrigerator will go.
Depth: Measure from the wall to the edge of your countertop. Be sure to include space for doors, handles, and door swing (with doors open at 90°). Leave at least 2.5 cm of clearance behind the Refrigerator for ventilation.
Width: Measure the space between the wall and any counters or cabinets. If the Refrigerator will be placed next to a wall, allow an extra 5–8 cm on the hinge side so the door can open fully.
Height: Measure from the floor to the ceiling or to the bottom of any overhead cabinets, especially if space is limited or you are opting for a tall model.
What else should I consider when installing a refrigerator?
Before delivery, plan the delivery route from your front door to the kitchen. Ensure access to a power outlet and good airflow. Measure the width and height of all doorways and hallways to ensure your new Refrigerator can pass through easily. Once installed, check doors open fully and the unit is level for optimal performance.
